Vibrotactile Stimulation to Increase and Decrease Texture Roughness

IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems, 2015
We have developed a texture display system that modifies the perceived roughness of textured surfaces via a voice coil actuator worn on the finger. To increase the roughness sensations, the vibrotactile stimuli from the actuator simulate the skin deformations that are activated when a wavy surface is scanned.

Vibrotactile Stimulation System to Treat Apnea of Prematurity

Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology, 2003
We modified a system that uses vibrotactile stimulation (VTS) to treat apnea (a cessation of respiration) in neonates in order to make the system more portable and easier to use by clinicians and nurses. The biomedical engineering department at Hartford Hospital (Hartford, CT) together with the Neonatology Division at the Connecticut Children's Medical

Vibrotactile stimulations for motor skill training

2010 IEEE International Symposium on Haptic Audio Visual Environments and Games, 2010
Although audiovisual instruction-with or without physical contact-is commonplace for teaching motor skills, it is limited in distracting environments such as large classroom-like settings or when there is a large physical separation between the teacher and student.

Visual Stimulation Influences on the Position of Vibrotactile Perception

2015
Tactile feedback is important for interaction in virtual reality. Some previous works employed vibration motors for tactile display. However, it is difficult to recognize the position of vibrotactile perception because the resolution of tactile perception is not so high.

Frequency-Specific Masking Effect by Vibrotactile Stimulation to the Forearm

2016
This paper demonstrates frequency-specific masking of tactile sensations on the index finger by remote vibrotactile stimulation. A vibration of 50 Hz was presented to the index finger. In three experimental conditions, the detection threshold for this vibration was determined with a masking vibration presented to the forearm of 50Hz (the same frequency)

The effects of duration and frequency on the perception of vibrotactile stimulation on the neck

2016 IEEE Haptics Symposium (HAPTICS), 2016
The aim of this current study is to determine whether the neck is a viable location to receive tactile directional information to substitute a vestibular loss. While wearing a vibrotactile neck device with 14 motors equally positioned around the neck, participants were asked to detect the exact location of the delivered stimulus delivered.

Effects of Aging on Responses to Suprathreshold Lingual Vibrotactile Stimulation

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1987
Lingual vibrotactile suprathreshold sensation magnitudes were investigated across four age groups ( M ages = 7.8 yr., 193 yr., 45.2 yr., and 57.0 yr, age range = 5 to 64 yr.) by employing the psychophysical methods of magnitude estimation and cross-modal matching.

Vibrotactile stimulation for the adventitiously deaf: an alternative to cochlear implantation

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 1986
Acoustic correlates of the prosodic features identifying English contrastive stress, ie, fundamental frequency (Fo), duration and intensity, and listener perceptions were investigated in a profoundly adventitiously deaf subject (D) pre/postvibrotactile stimulation, and in an age-peer normally-hearing person as a control (N).

Vibrotactile Stimulation: An Investigation of Psychophysical Methods for Establishing Threshold

Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1972
This investigation was designed to adopt and evaluate the psychophysical method of limits and method of adjustment using ascending and descending stimuli series to obtain oral vibrotactile thresholds on the anterior midline surface of the tongue. A significant difference in vibrotactile thresholds was not found with either the method of limits or the ...

Vibrotactile Stimulation: A Future Clinical Tool for Speech Pathologists

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1973
This paper presents a rationale for using vibrotactile stimulation as a diagnostic instrument to assess oral-sensory deficits which may contribute to defective speech patterns. Recent research findings are summarized and discussed as they relate to current testing procedures, comparative clinical research, predictive articulatory development, and ...
